Wikipedia Abstract

Onychostoma barbatulum (common name: Taiwan shovel-jaw carp) is a species of ray-finned fish in the Cyprinidae family. It can grow to 19 cm (7.5 in) SL, but commonly only to about half of that. Onychostoma barbatulum is found in Taiwan and in the Pearl River Basin of southern China. It is a herbivorous species that occurs in fast-flowing sections of rivers. Its populations may be dramatically impacted by typhoon-related disturbance, in one documented case nearly extirpating a local population.
